I just had a few questions about macros I would appreciate anyone’s help with.

  1. Can I build a macro that will randomly say or yell phrases that I add to it? If so, what is the string that I use to set that?

  2. Is there a way to build targeting into a macro? For instance, could I build a macro that would use charge on the closest hostile character to me or would cast storm bolt on the closest character? Or are mouse over macros the closest thing I can get to that?

  3. Is there a way to build algorithms into a macro? Like a cast sequence I suppose, but more of: if a then b, if not a then c. say I had two on use trinkets and I wanted to build a macro that would use both but would prioritize one over the other.

  4. Do you have any macros you use that you cannot live without? I am just curious how other people use them and if I might be missing out on a good idea.

Thanks in advance!

yes

just google phrase macros

pretty sure it would be something like
/say “context”
/yell “context”

  1. no

  2. no

but there are cast sequence macros so you can setup one button to cast a bunch of spells in a specific order

  1. pet attack macro for my hunter, transcendence on my roll for my monk, my racials tied to my big CD

A good starting point is the Macro and UI forum that can be found Here. Specifically the stickied thread “Macros: Essential Information”. It includes a lot of good info on what macros can and can’t do, and cover a lot of beginner questions when it comes to them. :slight_smile:

There are a lot of helpful people in that sub forum as well that should be able to get all your questions answered when it comes to macros. Whenever I need a macro looked over that’s where I head to.
